Characteristics of Particles Produced in Hadron-Nucleus Collisions

Abstract

A detailed study on mean multiplicities of secondary charged particles is presented. The average number of grey, black and heavy particles are found to be independent of energy in proton-nucleus interactions whereas for pion-nucleus collisions the data deviates from its independence with energy. The ratio of mean number of charged particles produced in pion-nucleus collisions to its number in proton-nucleus interactions at almost the same energy is found to be similar at different energies.

Study of Compound Particle Production in <sup>28</sup>Si and <sup>32</sup>S-Emulsion Collisions at 14.6 and 200 AGeV

“…N c = N g + N s ) introduced by Jurak and Linscheid [2] is one of the main sources of information about the mechanism of particle production. Many workers [3]- [10] analyzed the data on nucleus-nucleus (AA) and hA collisions to investigate some interesting features of compound multiplicity distribution. But fewer attempts have been made to study the compound multiplicity distribution for 28 Si and 32 S with nuclear emulsion at 14.6 and 200 AGeV respectively.…”
